Tamaya Hotel — Hotel in Ueda

Our stay here was absolutely perfect, highlight of my trip. We got the suite and it was amazing, it was newly renovated so everything was clean and shiny, I thought it looked way better than the pictures so I would highly recommend it. The private in room onsen was fantastic, just made it so much easier to onsen whenever you feel like it. The onsen water was also absolutely amazing, had the slightest tinge of sulfur so you know you're getting the real deal. I must have went in at least 5 separate times cause it felt so good. The floor felt like real wood and there were fresh cut flowers in the room. ||The public onsen was also very good, at least the yin yang one has a cold water basin so you can alternate dipping in and out which was fantastic, the massage chair was also really good. ||Food was of the highest quality, very delicious. We got the fugu menu and it was very nice. Had a lot of fugu. Also tried horse sashimi! Staff were very friendly and polite. We felt pampered on our trip. ||It is slightly out of the way but taking the regional train on the last leg did feel pretty neat and authentic. I was so sad to leave, wish I could visit again. Feels like 7 or 8 out of 5, such...

Absolutely amazing! The ryokan is beautiful, the service was top notch, the gifts are lovely, and the outdoor baths were amazing. It's right across the street from O-Yu, and a short walk from some great bars and cafes. Free drinks, lovely yukata and zori for walking round, amazing kaiseki meals, and they were able to accommodate my food allergy with zero problems. Highly...
